In the latest episode of the Warsaw Confidential Podcast, host Kamal sits down with the talented Polish American singer and model, Marta Krupa. Known for her unique voice and magnetic personality, Marta opens up about her experiences in the entertainment industry, her journey from Poland to the United States, her return to Warsaw, and the life lessons she’s learned along the way.
This interview is not just an insight into her career but a deep dive into her personal life, revealing the trials and triumphs that have shaped her into the woman she is today.
Beginning in Show Business
Marta Krupa started her journey in show business in Poland, often overshadowed by the fame of her sister. She recalls, “When I first started out in the show business in Poland, people are like, ‘Oh, her sister, her sister, her sister.’ I have an identity and I have a name and I have my own personality and I have my own views on life.” This early struggle for recognition fueled her drive to carve out her own space in the industry, which she has successfully done.
Early Struggles and Resilience
Growing up, Marta faced numerous challenges, including moments of deep disappointment and hardship. She recounts a significant childhood memory when her mother threw her a birthday party, inviting all her classmates, but not a single child showed up. “It really affected me as a child, being more introverted and not wanting to have a lot of friends,” Marta shares. Despite these setbacks, Marta emphasizes how these experiences have molded her into the resilient person she is today.
Finding Her Path
Marta discusses her late entry into modeling and the various roles she has taken on in her career, from magazine covers to hosting TV shows. She mentions how the support of her family, particularly her mother, played a crucial role in her journey. “We didn’t have much growing up… My mom worked in a factory, and we were cleaning homes and offices to make a living,” she recalls. These humble beginnings instilled in her a strong work ethic and appreciation for the small things in life.
Embracing Her Polish Heritage
Living in Warsaw now, Marta reflects on her connection to Poland. She describes how she always felt a love for Poland but never imagined herself living there until it happened. “Poland was always very close to my heart,” she states. Her move to Warsaw has allowed her to reconnect with her culture and explore new opportunities in the Polish entertainment industry.
Career Evolution and Personal Growth
Throughout the interview, Marta emphasizes the importance of personal growth and self-belief. She candidly speaks about her struggles with low self-esteem and the journey towards self-acceptance. “I am a strong, bold, beautiful woman, and if someone tells me I’m weak or I’m not good enough, it goes from one ear and out the other,” she asserts.
Balancing Dreams and Reality
Marta highlights the importance of balance in life, especially when pursuing a career in showbiz. While she admires the success of artists like Taylor Swift, she acknowledges the need for a healthy balance to avoid burnout. “You got to make sure you take care of you. Your wellbeing is the most important thing ever,” she advises.
Reflections on Relationships and Love
When discussing love and relationships, Marta admits to being a hopeless romantic, yearning for a deep and meaningful connection. She also talks about the importance of setting boundaries and not losing oneself in a relationship. “I want a balance. I want to support them, but I want them to also support me,” she explains.
Future Aspirations
Looking ahead, Marta is focused on continuing her career in music, exploring new genres, and possibly even writing songs in Polish. She is also passionate about opening an animal sanctuary someday, combining her love for animals with her career in entertainment.
